Donna Schapiro, a resident of OHEL Bais Ezraâ€™s Woodmere residence, had much to celebrate this week as she finished studying the Jewish book of Tehilim, in its entirety.

On Monday, June 17th, the women from Bais Ezraâ€™s Woodmere home gathered for a celebration in honor of Donnaâ€™s hard work. There was excitement, enthusiasm, and a celebratory barbeque. Donna took copious notes of her learning schedule, which would make even an advanced student jealous.

Jennifer Pollack, who learns with Donna, said about her â€śShe is a creative soul, who loves and appreciates art, calligraphy, and poetry.Â Her neshama loves to sing, and to soar and to learn.â€ť She said that Donna loves to bake and share with her friends,

In honor of Donnaâ€™s siyum, she was presented with a certificate of achievement, as well as a book about Europe, because of her love of traveling. She was also given a special womenâ€™s English and Hebrew siddur, in honor of her finishing tehillim.
